Most current GPS are 12 channel parallel receivers right?

Many are already 20 channel (Sirf3 chips)

What additional features will there be besides the perhaps better
precision?

Different position of the sats (more north) ==> better coverage.
Stronger signals ==> easier to catch. Or with user words, better
coverage in cities and the mountains.

Dual frequency as optional (??????) service towards cm resolution for
civil appliance ==> e.g. "automated" or at least totally blind (fog)
aircraft landing or ship navigation in critical places based on it.
